A fine and striking sepia mezzotint engraved by Richard Earlom (1743-1822) after the original drawing by Claude Lorrain (1600-1682), published by Boydell, London, 1775. ? Earlom was an accomplished engraver and has used a mix of etching for the graphic lines and mezzotint for the ink washes to create a print with high contrast that mimics Lorrain's fine penmanship. ? This sheet is from "Liber veritatis, or, A collection of two hundred prints after the original designs of Claude le Lorrain in the collection of the Duke of Devonshire, by Earlom, Richard, 1743-1822" Earlom was commissioned by John Boydell to copy all 200 drawings of Claude Lorraine's record of his paintings as prints, which were published from 1774 to 1777, when a collected edition in two volumes was published as Liber Veritatis. Or, A Collection of Two Hundred Prints, After the Original Designs of Claude le Lorrain, in the Collection of His Grace the Duke of Devonshire, Executed by Richard Earlom, in the Manner and Taste of the Drawings.... with the inscription on the reverses, a "descriptive catalogue of each print" and the current owner, where it was known. A further volume of 100 prints after other Claude drawings from various British collections was added in 1819, also using "Liber Veritas" as its title. The title Liber Veritatis was invented for these reproductions, but is now used for the originals as well. These were then in a rebound book at Devonshire House in London; they are now in the British Museum. ?
